A grandmother who faced eviction here last year after she fell victim to a “fake landlord” scam is getting the chance to buy her home, lawyers connected to her case say.
“I’m elated,” Walker said. “Hopefully this will open doors or help other people who are going through this or keep them from going through something like this.”Boccafe bought Walker’s house on the east side of Detroit for $25,000 last year, records show.
But the perpetrators have rarely faced prosecution. Phillips and other attorneys said that they haven’t been a priority for law enforcement and that the scammers can be hard to identify because they typically use fake names and temporary phone numbers.
